"While I think of it, altho it does not belong here, in Paramaribo I had to fire our local man as he had got into trouble with the Police there & was giving Cons. Pem. a bad name. He said it was on the Firm's account, but I told him you did not approve of breaking the Law at all. "We had no trouble sighting the party at Mt.
For it was a case just half-a-minute before, while Pem was still sanguinely loosing the Thunder Bird, of small pony-wheels on the big express engine striking a frog in the rails, an icy groove, and skidding, then recklessly plunging down four feet, those runaway ponies, from the low bridge which they were crossing on to the ice, dragging the engine, the cab and the two front cars with them.
Pem knew that she ought to call them back; knew it from the white parting at the side of her throbbing little head to the toe of her satin slipper tumultuously beating the ground, as she sank down, an orchid amid her chiffons, to watch.
And Pem, watching, Jessie, too caught from an entering shaft of day-light which shivered as if aghast, the reflection of the tightening glow upon his young face the waggish features of the Henkyl Hunter!
From the four quarters of the habitable earth eyes seemed trained upon her, as she knelt in a little island of flashlight, with her thumb on an electric button which, connected by wires with a platform about a hundred feet away, would throw the switch and release the magic Bird to flying. "N-now, keep cool, Pem!

Pem flashed the question upon the older of her two boy-knights. "Well-ll! I guess so." Stud's joy in the recognition floundered a little. "He he's the fellow one of the fellows who boomed the aëroplane, the other day, to get you girls quietly out of the cave, when there was a 'rattler " "As if we'd have made a fuss, anyhow!"
"And of course the wind may play pranks with the parachute drift it away down the mountainside!" "So that we'd lose it in the darkness oh-h!" Pem shivered upon the thought.
Now it was the scout's turn to hang, breathless, upon the interrogation as he too jumped to his feet. "Because oh! because I'd be be ever so much more comfortable without him enjoy myself more." Pem caught her breath wildly. "Then 'twill be A. W. O. L. for him! ... A. W. O. L. for him if I perish for it!" "What what does that mean?" "Absent With-Out Leave, as they set it down in the Army!"
Perhaps he cribbed some hint, too, from the excited girlish tongue of the demonstration so soon to take place upon Mount Greylock, when the invention would be tried out; and lastly of the thrilling invitation to the White Birch Group to be present not then but on that Great Day, far ahead, when the real Thunder Bird, full-fledged with magic, red-eyed, fiery-tailed, would embark on its hundred-hour flight moonward, as Pem was sure it would start, no matter where the gold-mine to equip it came from.
